HOW TO make a website accessible even when "www." is not appended before the domain name

A newbie who has deployed a website on to the Web may have panicky moments, when he notices that his website works when the URL is typed as www.mysupercoolsite.com but is not accessible when the URL is typed as http://mysupercoolsite.com

Jeff on the ASP.NET Forums has an answer - "This has nothing to do with HTTP, or ASP.NET or even IIS. The difference is you used the www host in front of your domain, and your DNS is configured to resolve the www host to the IP address of your web site. If you configure a blank host record to point to the same IP, your request will work without the www. See a DNS support group or your DNS admin if you need help configuring this."
